The flames began to eat away Luke’s flesh and melt his armor even from a distance. It almost looked like they could ignore his defenses... Still, it only showed that the fire giant was cornered and could no longer keep her cards hidden.

Luke distorted the space and teleported to above the fire giant. Still, her armor responded to that and grew in size, and it also became purple. It was crazy that it burned her while it made Luke feel like he was being bathed in hot oil. Without any other choice, he used the power of his sword and created an ice aura to decrease the effects of the flames, but he had to use more than a little bit every single second for the flames to stop bothering him. More than ever, time was of the essence, so he hurried.

When she noticed Luke’s approach, the fire giant clapped her hands, and then she became the point zero of a massive explosion. What she didn’t expect was the fact that Luke would keep approaching while looking like a devil in flames. He swung his katana, and the fire giant blocked the strike with her arms. Despite the flames increasing her defenses, she still felt her arms being cut. In the end, she clapped her arms again, and this time the blast pushed Luke away.

When Luke prepared to attack again, he saw the fire giant with her arms upward and above her, a massive purple fireball that was growing in size insanely fast. The amount of mana of that thing was surreal... It might as well be powerful enough to destroy the whole continent or an area of similar size to that world. Luke couldn’t survive such an attack, and escaping using space magic wouldn’t work. Time doesn’t pass there, after all. Using that as a shield would consume all of his mana and still wouldn’t be enough. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Luke still had an option, though, and the fire giant was so afraid that she couldn’t realize that. Still, Luke felt that just waiting for the attack to come and then returning to his flying fortress using Checkpoint wouldn’t be enough. Just when he took a step forward to prevent that attack, he suddenly felt a shiver, and in the next moment, the entire area was covered by a thick layer of ice. At the same time, Luke’s body was hit by it and then began to freeze. Still, in an insane demonstration of reflexes and insanity, he cut off his legs before his entire body could get frozen, making him unable to move. At the same time, he used Checkpoint.

Luke bit his lips in annoyance when he landed on his fortress. The pain was unnerving, but the fact that he had to retreat like that was even worse. Still, the battle wasn’t over yet. He immediately created another dimension and began to heal his legs.

"I suppose from here on out, the battles will be this insane, where I have to make decisions like this in the split of a second. It can’t be helped..." Luke thought.

The downside of moving to that dimension was the fact that Luke could only return to the same spot he had been before. So, he couldn’t use it in front of the enemies often. In any case, using his remaining mana, he made another clone, and he didn’t have to endure pain all over his body, which probably would put him out of commission for a few weeks. Still, it made him feel like crap for quite a while.

After healing his legs and then resting for a while to recover his tired body, Luke already knew what he had to do. So, he returned to the reality and then looked at the point in that world where he left the two giants. He didn’t even have to use the mana clone this time, Luke just pointed his sword at that place, and after he managed to sense their presence, he put all his mana into Stinger.

In a single moment, Luke crossed dozens of kilometers into other space and the whole atmosphere of that world, and then he attacked the ice giant. His sword pierced his left eye even though he hadn’t aimed that well. Still, before he could keep moving and then reach the brain of that asshole, the ice armor emitted a cold Aura that froze everything around the ice giant.

Luke felt his body freezing, and he tried to move away, but his body felt really sluggish and didn’t respond as fast as usual. Luke knew that ice magic could affect the speed of the enemies, but he didn’t imagine that it could make one feel like that they were in deep, slow motion. In any case, the ice giant moved away from Luke, who was falling even slower. His body was like that, but his mind was still working as usual, so that felt really annoying.

The ice giant had half of his face completely purple because of his own attack and now was getting his head due to the blood. Despite that, he wasn’t showing many reactions. He only checked his wounds for a moment before pointing his hands toward Luke. Still, now that he had revealed his card, Luke didn’t have anything else to fear. Luke also pointed his hands toward the enemy, which made the ice giant smirk since it was clear who was faster in that space. What he didn’t expect and that Luke would use Lightning, and after he got the mana from his clone, the Lightning was as large as the giant... The spell hit his left-eyed and thanks to the blood and the humid space created by the ice giant, it became even more powerful.

The ice giant didn’t even tremble. His body just got taken by the spell, and his head was the first to go away after being burned to a crisp. Luke felt that he had gone too far, but he soon forgot about that.
